Rockman 9, reality

As I read from Game Radar, the Nintendo Power magazine should hit news stands on July 9th, for all the doubters, heck, Game Radar has been giving full coverage of MM9 this whole week with crisp screenshots, info, and even a interview with Inufane on the project.

It's on shelves now, actually. Saw it at the store earlier.

Now, if only my subscription copy would get here...

Hm, I saw this the other day and had the same reaction as some. "Looks faked." But there it is in Nintendo Power...and its not April 1st.

I'm happy to see a new original Megaman game be created, in NES style graphics no less. But is this a good or bad thing? I'm not sure. After playing so many NES Megaman games, they sorta start to run together... Will a "new" one of that style be as refreshing as we think? I would hope they use some sort of new technology available to spice things up a bit. And I would hope they eliminate things like sprite slow downs and graphical glitches.

I'm also wishing it was available on more than one system, or at least in a hard copy version somehow. It wouldn't take much. Having it as a download only game kinda cheapens it. I don't even own a Wii at this point, so I won't even be able to play it... But oh well. I can't play Megaman Powered Up either. Heh. I hope to eventually own a Wii and that the game will still be available when I do. I'm a big Megaman fan, but I do have to wonder.

I remember seeing the promo art somewhere a few weeks ago, and now that I'm looking at it again does remind me of the boxart designs that were used for the first two Mega Man games on the NES. Dr. Wily just comes out at me as being similar to Darth Vader what with his mouth being covered up, and Mega Man does bear a resemblance to X which could have more meanings than what we're seeing.

They have actual picture of three robot masters and they're attacks out now.
Cementman, Magmaman, and Tornadoman.

The old box art reminds me of the incredibly american tv show.

So did anyone get the game yet? I got it today, and damn is this game hard. XD

It is so much fun though. It is awesome seeing the classic Blue Bomber in action again.

Hm, from what I've seen, aside from some unkind spike placement and disappearing blocks, this is nothing someone who can breeze through Zero 2's Crystal Cave or Advent's Ourobouros with minimal damage shouldnt't be able to cope with. Professional reviewers must really suck at Megaman games, because I can't see how anyone can get their ass kicked by those elephants in Concreteman's stage unless they do it on purpose.

Splashwoman fight's exactly like Leviathan...

I got my ass kicked by that last elephant until I started using robot-master weapons on it. XD

Splash Woman's trident is quick and easy to aim.

I do, however, keep getting torn up by Jewel Man's stage...requires more patience than I have, lol.

The fortress stage is like heck. I think I should get like 9 or 10 lives, 7 E-Tanks, and some shock absorbers just to make it to the fourth part. Why? Because the stage completely resets itself after getting out or game over. That sucks completely.

Plus, I know all the weaknesses of the 8 main bosses.

Would you mind posting it for us who don't? It would be a great help. It seems that Splashwoman is weak to Hornetman's weapon.

Hornetman > Splashwoman
Splashwoman > Concreteman
Concreteman > Galaxyman
Galaxyman > Jewelman

Galaxy Man and Splash Woman are easy first-kills with the Rockbuster, but their stages are a hassle. :(

My personal choice for first kill is Hornet Man. I love Hornet Chaser to death. It also means Tornado Man is left in the final three so you'll have access to Rush Jet to just skip those spinning platforms.

I did Hornet Man last...I found it was easier to conserve life in that stage (i.e. when there are SCISSORS flying at you) if you had Jewel Satellite on.
